== ''The Sociology of Rock'' == In ''The Sociology of Rock'' (1978) Frith examines the [[Consumption (economics)|consumption]], [[Production (economics)|production]], and [[ideology]] of [[rock music]]. He explores rock as [[leisure]], as [[youth culture]], as a force for liberation or oppression, and as [[background music]].<ref>Ken Tucker. [https://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/22/books/the-wonderful-art-of-vulgarity.html THE WONDERFUL ART OF VULGARITY]. ''[[The New York Times]]''. Retrieved 27 November 2010.</ref> He argues that rock music is a [[mass society|mass cultural]] form which derives its meaning and relevance from being a [[mass medium]]. He discusses the differences in perception and use of rock between the music industry and music consumers, as well as differences within those groups: "The industry may or may not keep control of rock's use, but it will not be able to determine all its meanings β the problems of capitalist community and leisure are not so easily resolved."
